Markkanen is cooling down just a bit and by season’s end everybody will realize he isn’t quite as good as all the attention he got in the first week or so of the season warranted. Kris Dunn has been a nice surprise early in his Bull’s career. He scored a season-high 24 points a few games ago. He’s averaging 13.5 points over his last 10 and nearly a dozen per on the season.

No one is going to fault Fred Hoiberg for his team losing a lot of games this season but he’s probably still under heavy scrutiny from here forward. If the Bulls don’t show improvement as this season wears on, he could be on his way out.

Indiana Pacers

The Pacers snapped a three-game losing streak against the Knicks sans Kristaps Porzingis. Lance Stephenson had the highlight of the night in that one, giving Frank Ntilikina a ride on the perimeter, all the way to the basket.

He’s the highest-scoring Pacer who isn’t in double-figures, so as to say he is seventh on the team in scoring. Six guys in double-figures is as good as it gets in the NBA.

I’m interested to watch how Indiana does as the season wears on. The Pacers depend on Victor Oladipo to do a lot but Nate McMillan is doing a good job managing his minutes. He can’t wear down if Indiana wants to sustain its success because this team goes as Oladipo goes. He hasn’t exactly been an iron man since he entered the league either.

The Pacers are a decent team but they are also one that makes it a point to win the games they should win because they know they aren’t the team that can knock off one of the big guys. Indiana won’t lose this game.
